Apatow will survive , after all he is only the producer on these films, the 2 movies he actually directed were great. I love the just for laughs tv show, really funny stuff.

The Apatow name is already starting to wear on me a little bit. When I see that name attached, I expect a certain kind of comedy, but lately, it seems like his name is attached to some pretty mediocre shit. I didn't even bother with Drillbit Taylor, and Forgetting Sarah Marshall, while funny, is, well, FORGETTABLE. I hope this isn't a sign of things to come for Apatow. And if you think I'm being melodramatic, tell me the last time the Farrelly Brothers were relevant. They were the next big thing not too long ago, too.
